In Luoyang City.
In Cao Cao's main hall.
The atmosphere was dead silent.
The white-haired Cao Cao was resting with his eyes closed.
The people of Wei Nation were waiting for him to speak.
Cao Cao, who seemed to be asleep, spoke.
"How is Xun Yu?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Although this matter was considered confidential, many people might know about it.
Xun Yu was one of Cao Cao's most capable ministers.
He had rebutted Cao Cao a few days ago and had fallen ill.
Cao Cao was worried about him and asked Cheng Yu to give him a small box containing fruits.
Xun Yu opened the box but found nothing inside.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but laugh maniacally.
Then, he struggled to pull out his sword and slit his own neck.
'Since there is no fruit in the box, please kill yourself!'
Xun Yu had been following Cao Cao since his early days. It had been thirty years since then.
Even if he didn't make any contributions, he would still be tired.
However, in the end, he still ended up in a miserable state.
Xun Yu had no choice but to side with Da Han.
He didn't side with Cao Cao.
Cao Cao wouldn't let an old minister who knew him very well choose to betray him.
Therefore, even if he couldn't bear to, he still killed Xun Yu.
If it wasn't for this matter, Cao Cao would have already chosen to withdraw from the court.
After all, his health had been deteriorating recently.
Cao Cao could clearly feel that his life was coming to an end.
His life was like a shooting star that was about to fall.
Perhaps, it was time to make arrangements for his funeral.
Hearing his words, the hall became even quieter.
Everyone here knew what happened to Xun Yu.
Therefore, they couldn't say much.
Cheng Yu was the only one who hesitated for a while and slowly stepped forward.
"Wei Emperor, Xun Yu passed away not long ago due to illness!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao wasn't surprised at all.
However, it was impossible to say that he was indifferent.
After all, Xun Yu was an old minister who had followed him for 30 years.
Their relationship might have already surpassed that of a master and servant.
Moreover, Xun Yu was one of the few people in the entire Wei Nation who knew him well.
Other than him, it seemed that only Sima Yi knew what he was thinking.
Cao Cao opened his slightly murky eyes and moved his lips.
"Sigh! Xun Yu is gone, Xun Yu is gone … "
"You're leaving just like that? You're making me so lonely!"
Cao Cao's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was extremely cohesive.
They slowly circled around the hall.
When everyone heard this, they lowered their heads in silence.
Cheng Yu said.
"Xun Yu has followed Wei Emperor for so many years. I'm sure you two have developed a deep relationship."
"But Wei Emperor, don't be too sad. Take care of yourself!"
"Hmm …"
"Pass down my order. Bury Xun Yu. Don't neglect it!"
"Yes!"
Cao Cao snorted and pondered for a moment before asking.
"By the way, how are things going with Bai Feng, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and the others?"
"If I remember correctly, part of Sun Quan's territory has been occupied by Bai Feng. I wonder how they're fending him off?"
As soon as he said this, the hall fell into silence.
During this period of time, Bai Feng's reputation as a prodigy had spread far and wide.
After all, a young man in his twenties had taken over the entire Jiangdong region.
Not only that, but he had also defeated Sun Quan so badly that he had to flee!
This was unbelievable!
In addition, Bai Feng had married Guan Yinping two days ago. This had undoubtedly made him famous.
Now, everyone knew that Bai Feng and Liu Bei had successfully joined forces. Only Cao Cao did not know.
The main reason was that Cao Cao's head had been in the limelight recently.
The intense pain had made him listless. Naturally, he was not in the mood to care about external matters.
Now, he had finally recovered.
Cao Cao did not dare to delay and immediately went to court.
Cheng Yu stepped forward and said.
"Reporting to Wei Emperor, Sun Quan has been completely defeated by Bai Feng."
"Right now, the entire Jiangdong region has fallen into Bai Feng's hands."
"As for Sun Quan, rumor has it that he was not killed by Bai Feng. Instead, he was lucky enough to escape. No one knows where he is now."
"What!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes widened. His old face was filled with disbelief.
He had been in contact with Bai Feng for a long time. Of course, he knew what the former was capable of.
However, Cao Cao admitted that Bai Feng was very strong and was a once-in-a-century prodigy.
Otherwise, he would not have been held back by Bai Feng and dared not make a move.
He tried his best to calm his shock and said slowly.
"He is indeed a prodigy. He is indeed powerful!"
"He has achieved so much at such a young age. He is indeed unstoppable!"
"I remember when I was in my twenties, I was still running from that old thief Dong Zhuo!"
"Now that Sun Quan has been completely defeated by him, it makes sense."
"Coupled with Ma Chao in Xiliang, we have another very powerful enemy!"
At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly thought of something and said.
"Right, Bai Feng has become the new overlord of Jiangdong."
"Liu Bei should have formed an alliance with him in order to deal with me!"
Cheng Yu nodded.
"Yes, Wei Emperor! You guessed right! "
"Just a while ago, Bai Feng and Guan Yu's daughter, Guan Yinping, held a wedding in Hanzhong."
"It was very grand back then. They seem to be on good terms now!"
Cao Cao nodded slightly when he heard this.
"That's within my expectations."
"After all, Sun Quan and Liu Bei had formed an alliance like this before. In the end, it was dissolved by Bai Feng personally."
"But what I didn't expect was that Guan Yu would actually marry his daughter to Bai Feng."
"You know, I know Guan Yu's arrogant temper very well."
"Even if they were in an alliance, if Guan Yu didn't like Bai Feng, he would never marry his daughter to him."
"So, Bai Feng must have used some special means to convince Guan Yu."
"To be able to convince Guan Yu, this young man is really extraordinarily powerful!"
"It seems that we still have to be careful from now on."
At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly stood up and said to everyone.
"Although Liu Bei and Bai Feng have formed an alliance now, they really don't intend to cooperate."
"But I'm sure that they are definitely not sincere in their cooperation. They must each have their own ulterior motives!"
"So, to deal with them, we only need to do what we did to Sun Quan and Liu Bei before."
"Let them continue to develop. Don't take the initiative to attack them."
"As time goes by, I don't believe that they can stay calm forever."
"Yes!"
Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this.
At this moment, a guard rushed into the main hall and said in a panic.
"Reporting to the Wei Kingdom! Something bad has happened! "
Cao Cao frowned.
"What happened again?"
"Start from the beginning!"
The guard said.
"Ma Chao of Western Liang suddenly attacked our cities last night. Now, several cities have fallen!"
